Aaliyah POV
I headed up the stairs stopping to look at the pictures on the wall along the way. Black was so cute when he was a baby.
The room I'm staying in is so beautiful it makes me feel like I'm in a hotel. I can tell Black takes good care of his mother.
On the bed there were a few outfits. Some cute some not. Across the room there were a few towels and rags so I headed to the restroom to take a shower. I stayed in for a while just thinking about everything that has happened I then realized that I left the box in Blacks worker trunk. I guess I will just have to get it when Black comes back. I heard a knock at the door and then blacks voice saying "Aye liyah when you done in the shower meet me and moms downstairs we need to talk."
"Ok" I yelled loudly not even knowing if he heard me. I stepped out the shower grabbing my towel and drying my body. I walked into the room placing my towel down and getting dressed. I turned looking at myself in the mirror before heading down.
"Ah here's my beautiful daughter in-law" blacks mother said causing me to give him the side eye and mouth "WTF". He simply laughed and said "yeah babe come sit down."
I walked over slowly confused about what was going on between us. He whispered in my ear "The only way moms would allow any female to stay here is if I were in a relationship with her, but don't worry I'm not too fond of this either."
Mixed signals much ? I thought to myself.
"So what's the news mom?" black asked
"Well there's no easy way to tell y'all this but......I have breast cancer and I don't expect you to take it too well but I assure you everything will be ok. God can work miracles."
I sat there in awkward silence as I watched the sadness wash over Black. He looked into his mothers eyes as he began to weep and I couldn't do anything but hug him.
"Nah man get off me.." Black said pushing me away
"Come on Byron don't act like that let her comforts you."
"No fuck her and fuck you, you sitting here acting like you didn't just tell me you're dying. Man I don't got time for this." He said storming out.
I looked over at her in total disbelief and utter shock.
"Oh baby it's gonna be ok he doesn't mean it. You'll get used to his bipolar disorder eventually."
Bipolar disorder ? Could that explain all the mixed signals ? Lord what have I gotten myself into ? Why Malik ? Why ?
